Invitation
[edit]There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:19, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 18
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Horizon (U.S. magazine), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Robert Hughes and Thomas Meehan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Image without license
[edit]Unspecified source/license for File:WEA Sydney logo.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:WEA Sydney logo.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 23:46, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Non-free use of File:WEA Cigarette card 1928 SMLR.jpg
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:WEA Cigarette card 1928 SMLR.jpg. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the {{di-fails NFCC}} tag itself.
An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:13, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:WEA Cigarette card 1928 SMLR.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:WEA Cigarette card 1928 SMLR.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:49, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Non-free content use
[edit]
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically Draft:WEA Sydney, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:21, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Ways to improve WEA Sydney
[edit]Hello, Elitism,
Thanks for creating WEA Sydney! I edit here too, under the username Hughesdarren and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
Doing a check as part of page curation and earwig is saying 51% Violation Possible. Placing this tag until I can confirm. Regards
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hughesdarren}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
Hughesdarren (talk) 11:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
@Hughesdarren: Thank you for your comments. I thought that, while many of the sources are closely associated with the subject, there was really no alternative but to use them if I was to create an article from scratch that would give users a meaningful outline of WEA Sydney's history and (in particular) present operations. If I can find more reliable, independent, third-party sources I will happily add them. While I do draw extensively on WEA Sydney's 2017 Annual Report, I haven't found any other source that provides the necessary information. David Morgan
Elitism (talk) 10:10, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- No worries, The sources weren't the biggest problem, it was the copyright issues. I contacted another editor who has a better grasp on the copyvio issue who came in and cleaned the article up. In future it may be useful to you to run the article name through Earwig to see if what you have written is free from any copyright problems. The link is here [1]. I've made the same mistake myself a few times but whenever I create new article I always run them through Earwig just to be sure. Thanks for your contributions and keep up the good work.

Copyright problem on WEA Sydney
[edit]Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from https://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/the_workers_educational_association_in_the_post_war_era, which is not released under a compatible license. You had marked this source as being released under a CC-by-SA license, but I can't find any evidence that this is so. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, some content had to be removed and I paraphrased some. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
